Sorrow As 6-Year-Old Kid Who's Been Missing For 3 Days Is Found Dead

• A mother in Mbagala is in pain after the death of her precious child who had disappeared from home for a few days
• The mum emotionally recalled going to the police station to report the disappearance of her child, only to be allegedly sent back home
• The Tanzania woman said her child was allegedly tortured because of the state of the little one's body

It is a painful and shocking moment for a family following the heartbreaking news involving their six-year-old kin.

The kid disappeared under unclear circumstances for three days, leaving the family in pain.

Tanzanian mother blames police slow response

After launching a desperate search for the missing child, the kid was finally found in a building but dead after allegedly being tortured because of the state of the body.

The child's mother could not hold back her tears as she grieved her child, saying if the police had acted early, her child would be alive.

"If they would have helped me, my child would not have been dead. When I reported the disappearance, I was told to return to the police station later. I returned after 24 hours, but I was sent away again. Where is the cooperation and personality? 24 hours is a long time before they start looking for someone," she cried.

Tanzanian mum opens up on family needs
